Incredible deal right now on Amazon US for the 3LP coloured vinyl box set edition of Metallica‘s 2016 album Hardwired… to Self-Destruct.
This box set comes with the three coloured vinyl records, an additional live bonus CD, a digital download andfour lithograph photo prints as well as Hardwired… to Self-Destruct themed buttons. All this for just $28 (or £22). It’s $60 on the Metallica website and much more expensive in Europe.

“We have waited 8 years for a new album from Metallica! I ordered this on vinyl and the limited deluxe edition box set so it came on 3 vinyl LPs. Disc 1, 2 & 3 are the same as the CD double set with the same track list but you get a CD of 9 songs that were recorded live at rasputin music in Berkeley on April 16th 2016 and the title track Hardwired recorded live at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on August 20th, 2016”

“In the boxed set you get a few extra things – not just a 3rd LP. First off it is pressed on 180 gram vinyl (33 1/3 speed) and each LP is a different color! One blue, one yellow and one is red. If you get the regular vinyl (2 LPs) I believe it is press on regular black vinyl. In addition to the LPs you get a bonus CD and additional digital download (not just the auto rip). You also receive 4 lithograph photo prints and buttons for the “to self-destruct” theme of the album.”

That’s not the case with Amazon usa, you pre pay the vat upfront which in this case is about £6, and that’s it, no royal mail fee or any other vat or import charges etc. as you’ve already paid them, run through a dummy order to check for yourself, you can see it on the screen right before you hit confirm order.
